shockwave199 0 Posted March 20, 2014 You don't need to elaborately link the systems. They can be separate systems but monitored jointly in one software application for both. For instance, Dahua would be PSS software. All 32 channels would be open within that software. Unless the homes are elaborate or need interior and exterior cameras, you could possibly be okay with 8 channel systems and save money there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
